soluie

Soluie is a fictional mineral used in speculative geology and science fiction to explore mineral formation, energy materials, and the ethics of resource extraction. Although described in various works, soluie does not exist in the real world, and information about it comes from fictional or hypothetical sources.

Discovery and naming: The term soluie is often attributed to a fictional field team that, in stories set around the Sol Rift, first described a glow-emitting mineral later called soluie. The name is commonly linked to its alleged solar-like luminescence and energy-transfer properties.

Physical properties: Soluie is depicted as a pale yellow-green to honey-colored crystal with a vitreous luster. Speculative characterizations place it in the monoclinic crystal system, with a Mohs hardness around 6 to 7. Reports describe strong fluorescence under UV light and a refractive index near 1.62. Its purported structure is said to enable efficient energy transport.

Formation and occurrence: In fiction, soluie forms through hydrothermal alteration of basaltic rocks under geothermal conditions and is often found near fissures and vents. It is described as rare and unevenly distributed, commonly associated with magnetite, calcite, and alkali feldspars.

Uses and significance: In narrative contexts, soluie is proposed for high-efficiency solar-energy devices, luminescent markers, and novel pigments. In academic exercises, it serves as a case study for mineralogy, spectroscopy, and hypothetical supply chains in speculative economies.

Note: Because soluie is fictional, there are no verified field data or mining operations, and references appear exclusively in fictional or experimental contexts.
